..This mirrored the lower expression of TAUT observed in mouse placental vesicles. We conclude that syncytiotrophoblast layer II-derived plasma membrane vesicles can be isolated and used to examine transporter function...

..0+/-8.4 (n=7)) was significantly higher than Kmf for (14)C-mannitol (20.0+/-2.4 (n=5)) (p<0.01). These data demonstrate physiological perfusion of the mouse placenta in situ and its usefulness for measurement of solute transfer...

The SNAT4 isoform of the system A amino acid transporter is functional in human placental microvillous plasma membrane

..We conclude that the plasma membranes of the cat syncytiotrophoblast show a broadly similar functional polarization to the human and that PMCA would prove a useful marker in isolation of the cat syncytiotrophoblast basal plasma membrane...

Aldosterone and cortisol acutely stimulate Na+/H+ exchanger activity in the syncytiotrophoblast of the human placenta: effect of fetal sex

..5. It is concluded that N(+)-K(+)-ATPase activity and protein expression does not change during differentiation of cytotrophoblast cells but that there are changes in expression at the transcriptional or post-transcriptional level...

L-Arginine transport across the basal plasma membrane of the syncytiotrophoblast of the human placenta from normal and preeclamptic pregnancies

..The expression of NHE and AE in the villous placenta is not altered concomitant with the onset of maternal blood flow. However, NHE2 transcripts appear to be gestationally regulated, which may contribute to changes in NHE activity...

..We tested the hypothesis that diabetes in pregnancy can result in the in-utero reprogramming of renal calcium and magnesium handling and of bone formation in the offspring, which persists into adulthood...

..There is also evidence of acute modulation of NHE activity. Regulation of NHE in syncytiotrophoblast is therefore complex with control at transcription, post transcription and post translational loci...
